This is easiest hot appetizer that you'll ever make. Uses only TWO ingredients and it's soooo good, I guarantee these will disappear in minutes!

With Superbowl around the corner, I've had these on my mind to post for a while. These are the perfect tasty game day treats and you can easily assemble them ahead of time. When your guests arrive, throw them in the oven and the aroma of bacon that will fill your home will have everyone salivating.

I know what you're thinking, bacon on Skinnytaste?

Well yeah, why not?

Using center cut bacon reduces the fat, and wrapped around lean chicken breast you have yourself one delicious appetizer! If you want a sauce for dipping, you can use Sweet red chili sauce or duck sauce on the side. Your low-carb friends will thank you for these as they are carb-free, gluten-free, and semi guilt-free (just don't eat the whole batch).

I used to make these with my Mom as a kid. I recall looking through the oven door, waiting impatiently for them to come out. I guess

I am making them: turkey breast wrapped in turkey bacon. They are still in the oven but they smell like heaven! I did seasoned the turkey breast with some red dried panca pepper peruvian paste and mashed garlic.

Interesting idea! My family loves pastrami-wrapped dates (pastrami instead of bacon because we keep kosher) - you get the sweetness of the date and spiciness of the pastrami in one caramelized bite of deliciousness. (For dates, bake only 10-15 min.) I will have to try pastrami-wrapped chicken bites sometime! Love Melissa's suggestion re: jalapeno.

I can attest these are awesome. I make them (but with a water chestnut inside) every Christmas Eve. It's the one thing my Mr and mom say I'd better make or they'll poke me with a stick until I submit. I like to add a little Italian seasoning or some kind of salt free spice too.

My husband is getting sick of chicken, but I'm not, this would be perfect for dinner one night, while I only eat 3, he could eat the rest and trust me anything with bacon on it, he'll eat! This looks just wonderful! Making this for dinner one night this week!!

The friend's house that I usually watch the superbowl game at refuses to eat anything healthy related; but her boyfriend is a bit more health conscious. She loves bacon. I think I'll definitely be able to sneak these past the healthy radar & won't telll anyone they're healthy until after they've eaten them. My friends know that whatever I make is usually healthy, so this will be a surprise!

Tried this today for a light lunch and it was amazing! Will be trying your Chicken Rollatini with spinach tonight for dinner, can't wait! Can't beleive all of these recipies are low in fat! You've got yourself another fan, thanks:)

We do a whole water chestnut wrapped in bacon marinaded in soy sauce. Those are a fave and now I am craving those. I will be adding the chicken ones to our Superbowl party! I would love to see more SB party recipes, hint hint. :) Melissa

You ROCK! I just found your site through a friend. I'm a 37 yr old guy who has just started to cook at home. I made these today and LOVED them! Thanks so much for all you do to give us some great recipes! Much appreciated!

-KevinP.S. I've also made your asian flank steak skewers. My favorite so far was the Chicken Rotallini (or whatever it's called..the one where you roll chicken with spinch, low fat ricotta, mozerralla). I CRUSHED that. Have actually made it twice and I just found your site about 2 weeks ago. :)

We just did these for dinner and everyone loved them. We broiled them for a minute or so to make them a little crispy and they were wonderful. It's so much easier doing WW with all of your wonderful recipes. Thanks Gina.

I do something similar but instead of any sauce, I just dredge them in a mixture of dark brown sugar and chili powder. I wonder how much this would affect the points value - because to be honest, they're not THAT much brown sugar.

Made these for a party tonight, they disappeared very quickly! No one could believe they were only two ingredients (we set out sweet chili dipping sauce and peppercorn ranch for them as well-both delicious, if not low-cal!). I use recipes from your site all the time and serve them to non-dieting friends that LOVE the food and have no idea it is "healthy."

I made these for an appetizer dinner for my dd's birthday with her friends (along with your Santa Fe stuffed potatoes). They were GREAT. About 10 minutes before they were done, I spooned about a teaspoon of Trader Joes sweet chili sauce on top of each one. They ended up even BETTER!

I am having a hard time finding a lower fat bacon. I have found a center cut bacon that is lower in sodium but the fat content is not much different from regular bacon. Is there a specific brand you use?

I made these for my niece's bday party. I was not sure what to expect but they were certainly a huge hit of the party. I really think that the sweet chili sauce at least for me made them even that much better. My mom and dad were like, oh my, these are good. i made some with the dry hidden valley ranch dressing mix, also. Everyone asked for the recipe so, I posted them on my sister's FB page for them to go directly to this website. They also could not believe that these were a weight watchers recipe.

I made these yesterday and they were de-lish! Next time, I'm going to try using a chicken tenderloin, put enough of one piece of bacon on to go lengthwise, cook, and eat with sweet chili sauce. I'll still get the taste of the bacon per bite, it will be less calories/fat (since I ate more than 3), and I can be lazy. ;-) We'll see how it goes... Thanks for the delicious recipe! :-) P.S. The chili sauce we really liked (we tried two) was the Mae Ploy Sweet Chilli Sauce.

This was fantastic... as you said, they went very quickly. I served with Thai red chile pineapple sauce (which apparently has been discontinued? :() and BBQ sauce. Very easy to make and delicious! Thank you.

I've been using these as a low-carb high-protein snack for my husband. We use turkey bacon to lower the fat and they taste delicious. Also, I went with Helga's suggestion of using some chili powder and a little bit of brown sugar for added flavor. These are fantastic! Thank you Gina!

These are amazing! My husband requests them for every event now. I agree with broiling for a few minutes at the end. I add a little salt, pepper and garlic powder for a little more flavor. Awesome dipped in BBQ sauce or light honey mustard!

Made these this past weekend for a party I was hosting and they were extremely popular. I agree with the broiling comments because even after 30+ minutes at 375 they weren't done. Very easy to assemble before-hand and then pop in the oven when people arrive. Thanks for a great recipe, I also used the spinach artichoke dip and the guacamole deviled eggs and I loved everything!
